Trump Would Be ‘Ok’ With a Tax Hike on the Rich but Cautions Against It
President Donald Trump said it would be “OK” with him if Republican lawmakers raised taxes on the rich, but in the same breath he cautioned against it.
Trump took to Truth Social to share his message as Republicans on Capitol Hill work to forge the “Big Beautiful Bill.” He argued that Democrats would likely seize on such an increase to try to score political points:
The problem with even a “TINY” tax increase for the RICH, which I and all others would graciously accept in order to help the lower and middle income workers, is that the Radical Left Democrat Lunatics would go around screaming, “Read my lips,” the fabled Quote by George Bush the Elder that is said to have cost him the Election. NO, Ross Perot cost him the Election!
He then cautioned against a tax hike on the rich, before saying he would be okay with it if Republicans move forward with one.
“In any event, Republicans should probably not do it, but I’m OK if they do!!” he added. (Read more from “Trump Would Be ‘Ok’ With a Tax Hike on the Rich but Cautions Against It” HERE)
